Guns, Gore & Cannoli

Guns, Gore & Cannoli, you can’t go wrong with a game title like that, especially when you have Vinnie as your protagonist. He’s a trigger happy wisecracking gangster who’s ready to take down any man in Thugtown, living or undead, until he finds what he’s looking for.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli is at its core your classic platformer in which you get to jump, dodge, shoot (there’s an exaggerated amount of that), pickup guns, ammo and move to the right side until you complete the level.

Aesthetically, the game is truly unique. Guns, Gore & Cannoli’s 2D world is built without cutting corners and you get to see that in all the details of its cartoon inspired graphics. Not that that’s a problem, on the contrary, it only makes the over-the-top shootouts, explosions and deaths much more enjoyable.

If you’re into gangster movies set in the 1920s then Vinnie is going to win you over. He can handle everything from a pistol to a tricked out Tommy gun and you’ll love the grin on his face when zaps the meat off a group of zombies using a Tesla gun.

Weapons, explosion and death mechanics in the game are superb, the animations are smooth and that really allows you to enjoy the non-stop action which Guns, Gore & Cannoli offers. Although Vinnie is the definition of a tough guy, you’ll die quite often because apart from being highly entertaining, the game also designed to be challenging.

In a lot of cases, main characters in platformers seem to lack personality but that’s not the case here. Vinnie has clever catchphrases ready for just about any circumstance which will definitely put a smile on your face while you’re blasting zombies to pieces.

To sum things up, Guns, Gore & Cannoli has tons of action, quality humor and is definitely something you need to play if you’re a fan of platformers.
